Luo Sha glanced around but found no signs of a battle.
Could it be to intimidate Sunagakure?
"Kazekage-sama!"
A figure approached from afar and stopped below Luo Sha.
"Yura, what brings you here?"
Luo Sha controls the sand pad to descend.
Yura is the Jonin of Sunagakure Village.
In the original work, he was controlled by Sasori and turned into a spy. During Sasori and Deidara's capture of the One-Tailed Beast, he killed many Sunagakure ninjas.
"Our village's water pipeline is not far away."
Yura replied, "I suddenly heard a loud noise and rushed over."
Upon hearing this, Luo Sha suddenly thought of a possibility.
Could this giant crater have been created by Amegakure to intimidate Sunagakure?
After all, during this period, Sunagakure and Amegakure were competing for the water business in the Land of Wind.
"Lord Kazekage, what happened to this giant crater?"
Yoshimi asked curiously, "Did you create it using Magnet Release?"
Rasa was mining in the desert, a fact known only to a few Jonin in Sunagakure.
Yura was one of them; he subconsciously mistook Rasa for someone mining.
"No."
Luo Sha shook his head and said, "I just arrived too."
"If it's not you, then who else has such great ability?"
Yura looked surprised.
The vast majority of ninjas could not create such a massive crater.
"I suspect it's Amegakure."
Luo Sha thought for a moment and then reminded her, "We need to increase vigilance regarding the water pipelines recently."
"Does Amegakure have such audacity?"
Yura paused for a moment, then said, "Our Sunagakure is several times stronger than Amegakure."
"After all, the leader of Amegakure is Hanzo."
Luo Sha said in a deep voice, "He is not to be underestimated."
"We haven't heard from Hanzo for a long time; he might have already passed away."
Yura guessed.
"There shouldn't be any."
Rasa shook his head and said, "All the spies we sent to Amegakure have disappeared without a trace. Only Hanzo could have done that."
Among the ninjas he sent were many Jonin.
But Amegakure always manages to pinpoint their location and eliminate them.
With his strength and skill, who else but Hanzo could it be?
In the minds of most ninjas, Hanzo was a formidable figure no less powerful than the Five Kage.
During the Second Shinobi World War, Hanzo led Amegakure in a massive battle against Konoha, Sunagakure, and Iwagakure.
Although they didn't win, they still earned a formidable reputation.
His feat of defeating Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru single-handedly and bestowing upon them the title of the Three Legendary Sannin of Konoha is widely known in the ninja world.
"Moreover, the fact that Amegakure dares to compete with Sunagakure for the water business shows that they are not afraid of us."
Luo Sha added, "Only Hanzo has that kind of confidence."
"So we're just going to sit idly by and watch Amegakure go unchecked?"
Yura asked instinctively.
"Who created this giant crater is still unknown."
Luo Sha thought for a moment and said, "Let's make money first. If Amegakure really dares to start a war, we're not afraid."
In Amegakure, he was only worried about Hanzo.
But when it comes to war, he has to worry that ninja villages like Iwagakure and Konoha will take advantage of the chaos.
Especially now that Konoha Village is excessively strong, it has once again possessed terrifying Wood Release ninjas.
The next day marked the start of a new week.
The temperature in Konoha Village has risen considerably since March.
Kitazawa walked down the street and felt a long-lost warmth.
After all, we've moved from winter to spring.
Today is Monday, so I don't have to go to school.
Kitazawa plans to go to the Anbu base to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique and also check if Konan has returned.
Besides that, there is one more thing.
Have the secret service investigate the location of Fuuka Koyuki.
She is now a well-known movie star in the ninja world, so finding her location is very easy. Therefore, Kitazawa did not send Uchiha Itachi to carry out this mission.
After all, a task without difficulty is not worthy of Itachi Uchiha's strength.
Kitazawa pushed open the office door and saw Minami sitting on the sofa.
"Kitazawa".
Xiao Nan immediately stood up.
"When did you get back? Why didn't you tell me?"
Kitazawa chuckled and asked.
"I came back last night."
Xiao Nan explained, "It's too late, so I didn't want to bother you."
Is that so?
Kitazawa walked up to her, pinched her cheek, and asked, "How have you been these past two weeks?"
"It went fairly smoothly."
Xiao Nan was already used to his face-pinching, and said in the same tone, "We'll have to wait and see how effective it will be."
"That's good."
Kitazawa nodded and said, "If you have any questions, please let me know."
"Ah."
Xiao Nan responded.
Kitazawa looked at her and suddenly thought of a question.
Will Sunagakure and Amegakure start fighting because of the water trade?
After all, Sunagakure didn't know that Amegakure was backed by the Akatsuki organization.
They definitely believed that Sunagakure was much stronger than Amegakure, and in short, they held the advantage.
Thinking about it carefully, even if a real fight breaks out, it won't affect Konoha Village.
Kitazawa felt that the most urgent task was to improve their strength.
If they are strong enough, a fight between them would actually be very advantageous to Konoha.
Because Konoha Village has a reason to intervene.
"Go and call the antelope."
Kitazawa extended his hand and said, "I have something to tell her to do."
"Ah."
Konan stood up, walked to the door, and suddenly remembered something, so she put on the ANBU mask.
A moment later, the antelope knocked on the door and came in.
"Go and investigate Fuji Fuyuki-e."
Kitazawa thought for a moment and said, "Report to me next Friday."
Next Friday is the second monthly exam for the gifted class.
"Yes, Lord Kitazawa."
The antelope bowed slightly, then turned and left.
Kitazawa seemed to be deep in thought.
He plans to bring Shiro with him on this trip to the Land of Snow.
Haku possesses Ice Release, which provides a certain advantage in the Snow Country environment.
Aside from Bai, he was somewhat conflicted about the other two candidates.
However, he doesn't plan to bring Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki this time.
Because the main villain in this theatrical version, Fuuka Nutō, is not very powerful.
After all, this was the first theatrical film, and its power level couldn't compare to the later films where the characters' strength had increased significantly.
However, it also has its merits, such as railways and airships.
He felt that he could bring back these two technologies, which could be used to renovate Konoha or the ninja world in the future.
After thinking for a moment, Kitazawa finally decided to bring Yamanaka Ino and Inuzuka Kiba along.
The two weeks of training passed quickly.
It's Thursday, a new week.
Today is the first day of the second monthly exam for the gifted class, which is the theory exam.
Kitazawa didn't go; he didn't go to the ninja school until the next day, Friday.
Nine o'clock in the morning.
The gifted students have all arrived and are discussing group assignments.
Kitazawa was also discussing group assignments with Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others.
After finalizing the results, he went to the students in the gifted class and announced the group assignments.
"Great!"
Yamanaka Ino exclaimed excitedly, "It's Kitazawa-sensei leading the team again!"
"My chance has come!"
Kiba Inuzuka clenched his fists instinctively.
Neither Haku nor Yamanaka Ino are as strong as him.
He could have easily exceeded his usual standard and won first place.
He wouldn't have this thought if he were teammates with Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki.
Bai nodded seriously.
Now his strength is comparable to that of a Chunin, and he is getting closer and closer to his dream.
Although he can't join the Anbu yet, Kitazawa is leading the team this time, so he has to perform well.
"These are the group assignments for this practical exam."
